Photoshop question

(1/2) > >>

Sbrem:
I have an old bitmap, half-toned image that I want to lighten, so I open it in PS. It's a bitmap, so I take it back to Grayscale, then RGB. With either Levels or Curves, I make the change, but when I click OK, it doesn't change. What am I missing here?

Homer:
curious - why are you going from greyscale to RGB?  did you try flattening it?

mimosatexas:
what homer said.  shouldnt need to change from grayscale to rgb, and make sure its flat with no transparency anywhere as that will mess with photoshops curves/levels sometimes.  you should visibly see your changes as well (asusming you have preview checked) and if it isnt changing it could be some other issue...

3Deep:
Dam Steve, I'd love to help you, but normally it's you helping me...make sure nothing locked

Sbrem:
It's a bitmap tif, meaning, there are no grays, just solid black halftone dots on a white background. (When brought into Illustrator, you can color it any color in your pallet, great for showing a true proof with actual dots.) Since it's a bitmap, it needs to be covered back to grayscale for the Level or Curves tool to work. When that didn't work, I took it to RGB to see if that would make a difference, but no, I click OK after making the adjustment and it looks the same as when I started. It thinks it did it, because you can undo it, but it didn't do it. Dan, your a PS expert, any ideas?
